The 2004 Foppiano Vineyards Estate Cabernet Sauvignon was made entirely from grapes harvested from fully mature, 17-year old vines grown on the family’s Russian River Valley Estate. The wine is full-bodied and deeply colored. In the aroma, hints of mint and anise give way to pronounced blackberry and currant. A cedar and vanilla bouquet are matched with comparable character in the flavors from one year in oak.

Foppiano Vineyards has been a family-owned winery since 1896. Petite Sirah is the hallmark wine from our Russian River Valley Estate. For this special Reserve bottling we selected the oldest Petite Sirah vines from our 2000 Millennium Harvest and allowed the fruit extra hang-time for maximum maturity. This richly extracted, aromatic wine with its lingering flavors and exceptional smoothness is a rewarding choice for cellaring and celebrating. Here's to the next century of Petite Sirah!

The 2005 Foppiano Vineyards Estate Petite Sirah was made entirely from estate Petite Sirah grapes, grown on the family’s Russian River Valley Estate. The Pet is full-bodied and deeply colored. In the nose, the Petite offers black fruit aromas, which are well met on the palate with blackberry and blueberry flavors, as well as toasty vanilla, exotic spices, and hints of cocoa on the finish.

The 2006 Estate Russian River Pinot Noir has upfront floral aromas of fresh cherry and raspberry. A hint of leather and smoke mid-bouquet with an elegant finish of vanilla cream and essence of honey. Palate follows nose with more rich red fruit flavors. Full of cherry cobbler and raspberry jam with an added suggestion of sweet spices; nutmeg and clove. Mellow toasty oak in the long and fruity finish with trailing white pepper.

Our Cabernet streams from the glass with sun drenched cherries, soft hints of clove and a spicy berrylicious finish on the palate. Great just chilln' with friends or sippin' with pepper crusted steak, spicy Pad Thai or BBQ oysters.

White Zinfandel is one of California's most popular wines. We make it to be uncomplicated, full of fresh berry aromas and flavors with a pleasant, light sweetness that is especially thirst-quenching when chilled. This is a medium to light bodied wine which can be enjoyed alone or with a variety of foods.

California’s Sonoma County provides the optimum growing conditions for Zinfandel. The style pursued by Foppiano Vineyards is one of forward, assertive, glorious fruit. Careful selection of the grapes at peak maturity emphasizes the fresh berry character of this unique cultivar offering. Toasty aromas of oak further enhance the wine’s complexity of blackberry fruit and boysenberry jamminess. There’s a lot going on with this Zin.
